Oral cancer is a serious health concern, but when caught early, treatment outcomes improve significantly. At Elfar Dental in Belconnen, we use Identafi®, the latest in multi-spectral fluorescence technology, to detect abnormal oral tissues faster and more accurately than traditional methods.

Why Identafi® is Superior

Unlike conventional visual exams alone, Identafi® uses three distinct light wavelengths to highlight precancerous and cancerous changes that may be invisible to the naked eye. This allows us to:
✔ Detect abnormalities earlier – often before symptoms develop
✔ Reduce false positives/negatives – for greater accuracy
✔ Perform non-invasive screening – no discomfort or downtime

The Power of Early Intervention

Oral cancer survival rates jump from ~50% to 90% when caught at earliest stages. Identafi® helps us:

• Identify suspicious lesions before they progress

• Monitor high-risk patients (smokers, heavy drinkers, HPV+) more effectively

• Provide peace of mind through advanced diagnostics

What to Expect During Your Screening

A quick 5-minute process:

1. Tissue examination under normal light
